Abstract

A thin film solar cell module capable of reducing damages to cells and contact lines. The thin film solar cell module comprises a cell module including a plurality of cell streams connected in parallel to each other bidirectionally, wherein the cell strings each include a plurality of cells connected serially to each other via contact lines, and when an output of the cell module is represented by P(W), an output of the cell strings by Ps(W), and an area of the contact lines by Sc(cm2), under conditions: power source: xenon lamp, irradiance: 100mW/cm2, AM: 1.5, and temperature: 25°C, then (P-Ps)/Sc is 10.7(kW/cm2) or lower, Ps is 12W or lower, and P is 385W or lower.
